PREFACE.
IN issuing the Third Edition of "WHiTE's HrsTORY, GAZETTEER AND DrRE~ORY OF
.
LINCOLNSHIRE," the Editor has much pleasure in. acknowledging the kindness received from
the Nobility, Gentry, and Clergy of the County, who have revised the articles on the places
of their residence; and his best thanks are due, not only for the large patronage extended
throughout the County, but also to those very numerous correspondents who, by obligingly
forwarding replies to the Schedules of Queries submitted to them, have supplied an amount of
accurate information which has greatly enhanced the value of the Gazetteer. Where the
contributors of information are so numerous, it may seem invidious to particularise any, but
his thanks are specially due to Charles Frow, Esq., C.E., of Holbeach, for his Essays on
"Arterial Drainage" (page 18) and " Geology" (page 31); to James Britten, Esq., F.L.S., of
the British Museum, for his paper on " Botany" (page 88); to John Clarke, Esq., of Long
Sutton, for his epitome of the " Agriculture" of the County (page 41); to N. A. Humphreys,
.
Esq., of Somerset House, London, for his exhaustive sketch of the " Vital Statistics" of Lin-colnshire
(page 45); to John Goulding Sewell, Esq., M.A., of Logbourn Abbey, for his list
.
of " Ancient Churches" (page 48) ; and to ·the Registrar General for the permission given
for the extraction of the Population Returns of the several parishes, &c., in the County, from
the 1871 Census Enumeration Tables, then in manuscript (See .Appendix).
•
As the Editor hopes at some future time to republish this work in a still more complete
• •
form, he will be happy to receive from time to time any suggestions which may occur to
those who peruse it: and as every possible care has been taken to avoid errors (even at the
expense of delay), he trust~ that the Volume will be found as free from inaccuracies as is
compatible with the vast amount of information and the great variety of subjects compressed
within its 900 pages.
